Content Marketing Services

What is content marketing?

The essential thing to remember is that Content Marketing is simply marketing done via content.

People are often looking for information, or entertainment. People very rarely are looking for a sales pitch. So, content marketing takes the important central marketing message and weaves it into the form of content that people find more interesting, desirable, and palatable.

Why do I need content marketing?

With any business these days there is a need to be providing timely, relevant, useful, information into your networks, this can be done via a number of delivery methods. It is not enough to just sit and wait for customers to find you by chance. Most market sectors are competitive, such that if you aren’t ensuring that your potential customers hear good reasons to buy from you, the chances are that they’ll be hearing the messages of your competitors instead.

Content marketing can help with every stage of getting noticed, remembered, selected, and referred. Through carefully and cleverly targeted content, you can engage with potential customers far ahead of the conventional sales funnel, and keep them engaged throughout their customer lifetime, influencing and increasing every part of the customer lifetime value.

How to create great content

Creating fantastic content on a regular basis can be a daunting prospect, particularly if you have no internal marketing team. Content can take many forms, so remember to think creatively (as long as it’s in line with what your customers and prospects want). Here are some examples:

Website pages

Blog posts

Videos

Infographics

Animations

Online tools

Memes

Guides

Client case studies

Ebooks

Expert interviews

Podcasts

Collaborations

Industry news

PDF downloads

Product reviews

Don’t be afraid to think outside the box – if you have an idea, plan it into your content schedule and go for it. There is always a need to be flexible in planning content and monitoring audience engagement may mean a slight change in the planned strategy going forward.

Content marketing delivery methods

So you have created this amazing content, now you need to distribute it, get it to the right people at the right time. Everybody would love to have a piece of their content go viral and be shared around the world, but this is quite a rare feat. Good content marketing is consistent, relevant, and timely, with the correct messaging for the audience and your brand.
